Week 10 Reflection

The End of Our Technology Journey

Successful topics

Most of the topics we covered during the webskills course are very useful and help us as well as our students' autonomy and skills enhancements such as:

·         ABCD objectives,

·         Blogging,

·         Most efficient search engines,

·         Shared ideas for listening, speaking, pronunciation, reading and writing,

·         Practical Delicious page

·         Tips for setting a project in a project-based learning activity

·         Practical Ideas on Alternative Assessment

·         Learner Autonomy

·         multiple intelligences

·         Technology integration

Useful tools

Unlike my colleagues in this course, some tools cannot be used with my students because of connectivity issues in their area, for examples: Blogs, Pedlet and WebQuest. However, some of them work best for me as I could provide many educational tools to classroom or LRC (Learning Resource Center) such as: Rubrics, Interactive PowerPoint, Flash cards, board games, tests or quizzes.  

If I haven’t faced a problem accessing internet at my school, I thought of many possible solutions to enhance students' skills and autonomy. Gradually, we will work online and at school, we will hold a discussion of their perspectives of online activities.

As for future suggestions, there is none since I learnt from you things I have never heard about. Therefore, I don't have other tools rather than what this course suggested to me and my colleagues.

To sum up, this online course (Building Teaching Skills Through the Interactive Web (Web Skills) was a great course which I update my knowledge of the latest technological tools used in education. Many thanks to those who support help and monitor our work during 10 weeks: Russell and Robert. Thanks to my colleagues and their brilliant ideas and shared experience. I hope it is not the last time we work together. 

Best of Luck all,
